I've never been called out on a tip before but it wasn't even a bad tip IMO, maybe I've been doing it wrong?

After I walked away I wish I would have said oh sorry give me that back and then just handed him $23.
A few years back, right before Covid, went to Vegas with my wife, her mom, and brother. Cabbie dropped us off at The Palazzo. I paid the driver, and we walked off. This fucker had the balls to track us down at front desk and said we didn't pay enough/no tip. I know I saw $23 on the fare reader and I gave him $30. So I walked back to his cab and looked at the reader and it read $28. I gave him a few extra bucks and apologized I may have read it wrong. Now, at that time, I haven't been in Vegas for quite a few years, so I wasn't too sure what latest cab ride would've costed. Now I think back, I'm pretty sure that fucker either took a longer route or delayed his reader on us.

So I don't get it who buys a $5m house and it's looking to rent out both the laneway and basement to live like a village. Also no parking. Also city assessed is only $3.9 so how does 3.9 turn into 5+

I gotta think small family-run restaurants are probably feeling some slowing-down in business, but the larger high-end places that benefit from corporate spending still seem like they are going strong. Whenever I am taking clients out, especially for lunches, places are still packed. And tourists/cruise ships are in town right now, which also take up some tables.

I can't think of another city on this planet where you can find $3 million plus homes with rental basement suites and laneway houses. This highlights the messed up state of our real estate market.

They need to make things more affordable for rich Canadians by getting poor Canadians to stop being able to buy stuff.
Badhobz and traum I'll message you. I don't publicly post where I work on here cause I'm too controversial lol.

Because the mortgage payment on a smaller house with no rentals will be around the same if not higher.

I literally hate it haha. It's crazy to see 5+ million dollar homes that don't have a single feature that interests me beyond that it has 4 walls and a roof.
